TYPE BELOW: Your end of season vent

by .

Let it out

I know you’ve had it rough this season.

We’ve been through some hard times together.

It’s been disappointing.

… but the end is nigh.

So instead of a big match preview about how amazing it would be to down Troy Deeney today, why don’t we make this a farewell post to an average season, written by you?

Share your hopes, dreams, and even those ‘OH MY GOD I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT HAPPENED’ moments just so you can vent. Let’s leave it all behind us.

Today is about getting over the pain. Admitting that it was shit this year, and maybe opening the door for a hopeful Premier League next season.

Before I hand the keys over, I just want to say thank you for your dedicated support this year. I’ve been to some dark places this year, so know this… nothing makes me happier than knowing that no matter how bad it gets, there’s always someone waiting in the comments section ready to call me an oatmilk drinking whopper who doesn’t know shit about football. I love you all. You make this supporting Arsenal malarkey a lot more fun than it should be. Thank you.

So go on… this post is for you, let it all out, no one here is going to judge those tears (they will).

xx

And of course because he’s English and a darling of the media he gets plaudits for winning loads of free kicks even though he wouldn’t get half of them if he was an overseas player and would be labeled a diver.

S Asoa

Best passers of the ball are Martinez, Tierney and Luis.
Says a lot about Xhaka who don’t know why he is there

Paulinho

Lovely ball from Ceb.

Grealish will another offensive schemer alongside him. That’s why I like Ceballos playing just behind him.

Grealish alone with two holders won’t cut it.

Useroz

Pepe should have done wot AMN did And a lot more often… imagine his left peg

Paulinho

*with another

Left Testicle

Holding to blame again.

Ishola70

Nketiah has done some good things since he has come on.

london gunner

Lecister look like they are bottling it against united. Not creating chances

Guns of SF

Dani C has saved our bacon a few times today. great work

Useroz

Kolac is like a Watford forward ffs

Valentin

So to protect Luiz from himself, we introduced the bigger liability Kolasinac. Good thing that Martinez, Holding, AMN, and Ceballos are switched on defensively.

Marko

Yeah holding needs selling he’s been poor today

london gunner

Ceballos is pretty decent defensively recently

Paulinho

Welbz on fire, our defence is terrified.

Nelson

Eddie stops playing….

Marc

If my Mum writes me a note can I miss the Cup Final?

Guns of SF

We need Mr Mustafi for the final shit man

Left Testicle

Luiz and Holding. 🙄

Nelson

Holding too slow!!!

Wasi

Luiz doing another Luiz

Gazzap

Luiz mistake. Again.

Valentin

Talk to soon. The comedic duo Luiz and Kolasinac combining for not being in their respective position and give Watford an opening.

Paulinho

United’s 20th penalty of the season.

Valentin

Another penalty for ManUtd, why is anybody not surprised?

Guns of SF

Come on we need Auba to score….
Eddie on, will never pass to him

Paulinho

Water break saves our arse again.

Ishola70

Loose defending on Arsenal’s left for their second goal.

Holding again having problems for Watford’s prior chance

Useroz

Was going to say just put ‘em out of misery but well. 3 – 2.

Kolac made little effort to stop the cross.

We like to dilly dally all round and that’s what we deserve.

Ugly scenes. It’s embarrassing.

Marc

Have ManU actually scored a goal at Old Trafford this season what wasn’t a pen?

Dissenter

Utterly ridiculous from us

You’ll think there will a reaction to the loss at Villa and to compete to start the FA cup final.

london gunner

the scumbags chelsea and united get top 4

Marko

Willock has been hot garbage today. Totally non-existent

Champagne Charlie

20 penalties is fucking unreal.

Bruno will be up there with Auba soon enough

TheLegendaryDB10

I hope we are not going to decide to let Watford back in the game.

All this sitting back is not doing us any favours.

london gunner

tbf that was 100% a pen as both players took out martial and neither were even close to touching the ball.

Dissenter

The United penalty was 100% legit.

Wasi

Mustafi is being missed. Never thought id say that

Marc

Arteta needs to get a fucking grip.

Paulinho

Rashford surely not too happy with Fernandes taking the pens.

His goal-haul gets cut in half from now on if that continues.

Gazzap

You really can’t see this team beating Chelsea.

Nelson

I think it was Eddie’s fault. He was with the Watford’s player but just let him run it alone. Both Holding and Luiz are slow.

prvhc

Wtf was Kolasinac doing on that cross ? What a terrible footballer he is

Useroz

Torreira on isn’t going to help.

We stay safe by outscoring many more.

Parking the bus isn’t our thing. There’s 20 min to go …

Le grove

Man Utd have had 9 points handed to them by referees since football commenced since lockdown. They make me fucking sick. Cheating manc cunts

Guns of SF

interesting subs….should not take Dani off

Wasi

Has Saka fallen short of a non-negotiable

Aaron

Never want to see Kola and Luiz on the same pitch again.
With those 2 and ozil, xhaka and mustafi was like watching a train wreck every week every time.

At least 2 of them will be gone for sure, thank goodness.

Sid

Our defensive improvement is evident

G8

Bad subs!

Marc

All of this is because out Midfield sits too deep and then drifts back.

Valentin

Mustafi from favourite whipping boy on this site from missed defensive lynchpin.

Dream10

Pépé suits this type of end to end game.

If both Aubameyang and Pépé are going to be in the XI next season, we need a Giroud/Jimenez type #9 and two #8s that can hold the ball. Auba and Pépé are both loose with the ball

Marc

“Never want to see Kola and Luiz on the same pitch again.”

I do and in the same shirt just as long as it’s a Spud one.

Gazzap

Never a booking for holding.

Left Testicle

Could anyone honestly say who our best two centre backs are?

TheBayingMob

Making Watford look like peak Madrid

Marc

Very good save

G8

Here we go!

Useroz

Mustafi is missed is a dire statement for the club attempting to transform

Great reflex Martinez

Good try welbeck. We already helped u double your goal club t for the season. No more charity.

The Godfather

I’m gonna wait till after the game to address this game management ….

Ishola70

Holding’s overall performance today very, very dodgy.

Rash challenge there.

Guns of SF

we are getting hammered

Marc

We’re going to concede an equaliser

Left Testicle

Piss poor from Nketiah.

S Asoa

Holding is not great but wtf Kolasinach given his current form ?
Most managers including Arteta have their prejudices.
I just said it and Kolasinach does it again

Nelson

Super save!

Holding is a ball watching.

The Godfather

I can’t watch this team any more for real

MidwestGun

Full sleeve arm tat quota has been met now.. game on. What a save by Martinez! wow.. and Welbz all of sudden playing like Pele.

Ishola70

Sarr against Kolasinac bit of a mismatch.

Great sub by Teets.

Gazzap

Kola running in treacle. Fuck me. He’s not a premier league player!!

Marko

That back 4 has been awful today. Imagine getting the run-around by Welbeck and Deeney.

Valentin

Who said that Nkethia would not pass to Aubameyang?

Guns of SF

Auba a little chip would have done it

Useroz

Wrf is Eddie doing?? U wanted to stop to think??? It’s a clear 1 v 1. Idiot.

Helping Auba isn’t done that way. Idiot.

TheLegendaryDB10

What a save by Emi!!!!

Wasi

Emi is world class

Dissenter

Nkettiah shouldn’t have passed that but then he’s trying o help Auba.

DigitalBob

Honestly, Luiz should be 5th choice CB next season, only playing if we have an injury crisis. He can stay with the team and coach etc/earn his badges but he cannot play any real minutes for us anymore. So very shit.

Holding still looks shaky, I can see why Arteta doesn’t really rate him.

Martinez is just a revelation between the post, a great keeper.

Eddie – selfless there I love it but he should have taken it on.

Gazzap

Massive black mark against nketiah

Left Testicle

WE. ARE. LIGHTWEIGHT.

Marc

A really damning stat on Arteta just put up by Sky.

Wasi

again poor decision making from eddie. Even foster knew he was gonna pass that ball.

G8

Auba should have curled that on far corner!

Useroz

Chip isn’t an Auba thing.

Eddie should have passed way earlier and with a bit of pace if he wanted to help auba. The. Ball came too late and too slow. Weight of ball fucked the chance. Poor decision.

Jamie

What I hope Arteta has learned from this final pre-preseason game is that we absolutely cannot play with a back 4 against Chelsea in the cup.

Valentin

Martinez saved us again. But where was David Luiz?
That left side combination Kolasinac, David Luiz is just a disaster. Slow, out of position, unaware of their surrounding.

Ernest Reed

They are playing like idiots! Watford have every belief that they can win this and why not, Arsenal are doing everything to gift wrap it. Idiots – their entire season encapsulated with this performance.

gunnerman

Nket should’ve passed it to Auba earlier. Held on too long and gave it too late

Nelson

If we play Holding and Luiz in a back 4 formation, we have no chance.

Majesticgooner

Why do we keep playing this sideways passes? No attacking threat , Martinez saving us again, we had better not play like that against Chelsea. We don’t seem to be attacking or defending.

Wasi

No way should Kola, eddie,willock and reiss get game time over SAKA

Marc

Jordan Pickford is the Xhaka of Keepers.

Paulinho

Don Carlo on the road to getting sacked next season as I predicted when he took over.

Marko

From one of the best at picking up points from losing positions under Emery to the worst at losing points from winning positions under Arteta. Before anyone starts I’m not blaming Mikel I blame this squad of players entirely. They wilt away so often

Dissenter

We are supposed to be defensively better under Arteta, aren’t we.

We better get our shit together before next weekend.

Gazzap

Why’s Nelson standing that up. Smash it low and hard across the face.

Guns of SF

Kola vs Sarr is a nightmare

Left Testicle

Holding is getting on my tits. Why is ha always laughing?

london gunner

eddie slowed down before the pass telegraphed it and allowed the keeper to anticiapte the pass/angle to close auba down.

Still think Auba should have gone for more of a chip, but what I am an armchair striker.

Sid

The only tactic this group know is 3 CBs with the rest of the players camped in our box

Im telling you for free!
